Einstein rented the apartment on the 2nd floor at Kramgasse 49 from 1903 to 1905. It is furnished in the style of the period and thus documents the important Bernese period for Einstein. In view of the anniversary in 2005, the Einstein House underwent a gentle renovation for the first time in 26 years. The entrance and the staircase, which welcomes visitors with a depiction of the Milky Way, were renovated. The old spiral staircase to the second floor was left in its original state; it is easy to imagine how Einstein climbed and descended this staircase every day. Einstein's living environment and that of his wife Mileva and son Hans Albert can be easily recreated on the second floor. The apartment displays furniture from that time as well as pictures and texts, presented with the help of modern exhibition systems. With the additional inclusion of the third floor, there is space for the presentation of Einstein's life's work and biography.
